There are seven keys on the DCP of the standalone
Model 3610 DSU and eight on the SDCP of the

the DSU in a specific slot in the carrier.

F3
The key returns to the top-level menu, terminating
any work in progress.
The key returns to the previous display, one level
up from the current display. It can also be used to
terminate a data entry display without changing a
parameter.
The and keys scroll menus or other displays
left or right, respectively (such as displaying test results),
or move the cursor one character to the left or right on
data entry display (for example, to allow entry of one digit
at a time).
On menus, a maximum of three selections can be
displayed at one time. Use the or key to move the
viewing window left or right and scroll the remaining
selections into view. All menus wrap around (that is,
scrolling to the right from the last selection takes you to
the beginning of the menu, and scrolling left from the first
selection takes you to the end of the menu). On status and
test results displays, the
and keys scroll
additional information into view.
The function keys (F1, F2, or F3) select an item
displayed directly above the key.
On displays requiring entry of a number, such as the
Select display previously described, a cursor marks the
field that can be changed. On this type of display, the
functions keys are labeled as follows:
F1
↑
– Each key press increments the number being
entered, usually by 1 (some parameters
change by different increments).
F2
↓
– Each key press decrements the number being
entered by the appropriate amount.
F3 – One of the following appears, depending on
the purpose of the current display:
Enter – To select the numeric value as
displayed.
Undo – To void any changes made on the
current display and thereby leave
the value unchanged.
Dial – To dial the telephone number
shown on the first line of the
display (only available with DBM
installed).
Disab – To disable options.
Displ – To check EIA leads.
NOTE
In the remaining sections of this
